Meet Erin Kenny

Mar 31, 2026

About

Hi, I'm Erin, a Registered Dietitian, mom of two, and the founder of The Celiac Space.

I was born in California and now call Texas home, and my path here wasn't just professional. I have celiac disease myself, so I know firsthand what it feels like when a diagnosis suddenly seems to take over your whole life. The confusion about labels, the fear of cross-contact, the endless googling at 2am wondering if you're doing this right.


That's exactly why I do this work.


My background


I'm a Registered Dietitian with a specialty in celiac disease and gut-related disorders, and a passion for functional medicine, healthy living, and fitness. Over the years I've built a team of dietitians, worked directly with over 1,000 clients, and grown a community of more than 100,000 people who are figuring out gluten-free life alongside me.


I also created The Celiac App, a tool built to take the guesswork out of everyday decisions, what's actually safe to eat, how to navigate a restaurant menu, what questions to ask, so you're not left piecing it together on your own.


Why I started The Celiac Space


When I was first diagnosed, celiac felt like it touched everything. Now, I barely think about it. That's where I want everyone in this community to land — not managing an illness every hour of every day, but living confidently and gluten-free without it defining you.


The Celiac Space exists to be the dietitian-backed resource I wish I'd had: no fear-mongering, no generic recipe blog, just real, research-backed guidance from someone who's lived it and studied it.


Outside of work


I'm a wife and mom of two, and when I'm not working with clients or writing for the blog, I'm usually chasing my kids around or finding time for a workout. Celiac is part of my story, but it's a pretty small part of my life these days, which is exactly what I hope for everyone reading this.

Erin Kenny

RD, CEO / Founder of The Celiac Space
